SALEWA PRESS KIT SS26 - SET THE TONE OF YOUR HIKE
With its new Speed Hiking collection for Spring/Summer 2026, Salewa focuses on moving fast at your own pace

With its Spring/Summer 2026 Speed Hiking collection, Salewa is refocusing on developing a conscious approach. It’s not about speed and performance, but the individual experience – following your own rhythm, moving at your own pace, in touch with your body and surroundings. The emphasis is on mindful movement – balancing dynamic activity with moments of calm reflection – seizing the freedom to choose your own path, as reflected by the campaign slogan, “Set the tone (of your hike)”. The new collection is created to complement this approach – with lightweight, reliable functional products in a clear design language.

 

Lightweight, protective and dynamic – developed for versatile use

The Salewa Speed Hiking Spring/Summer 2026 collection is designed as a versatile, multifunctional year-round concept that will match with products from the 2025/26 Autumn/Winter collection. Lightweight materials with high breathability and intelligent designs provide enduring comfort during use for changeable conditions and demanding terrain or relaxed activity. Clean lines, modern silhouettes and warm colourways capture the dynamic feel of speed hiking in a sporty look that combines lightness, functionality, and style.

 

Setting The Tone Salewa is placing the connection between movement and sound at the heart of its campaign. Three distinctive, original soundtracks – each with its own tempo based on heart rates (BPM) – reflecting three different approaches to speed hiking – from calm, to energetic, to intense. These relate in turn to three distinct groups or personalities:

 

· GLEAMERS seek calm and mindfulness in nature – for a slower, more meditative experience.

· HIKERS enjoy dynamic movement, adaptability, and balancing physical and mental well-being on the trail.

· ESCAPISTS thrive on freedom and speed – moving fast over trails and beyond, with lightweight, high-performance gear.

 

Each of them follows their own rhythm and their own beat, accompanied by an exclusive soundtrack produced by Godblesscomputers for the campaign. Organic rhythms, field recordings, and sounds from the natural world are mixed together to form three tracks with three different tempos (BPMs), reflecting the three different tempos and forms of speed hiking.
